INFORMATION WE COLLECT AUTOMATICALLY FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES

When you use our Services, we and our third-party service providers may collect information from you through automated means, such as cookies, web beacons, and web server logs.

The information collected in this manner includes IP address, browser characteristics, device IDs and characteristics, operating system version, language preferences, referring URLs, and information about the usage of our Services.

We may use this information, for example, to ensure that the Services function properly, to determine how many users have visited certain pages or opened messages or newsletters, or to prevent fraud. We work with analytics providers such as Google Analytics, which uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about use of the Services and report on activities and trends. This service may also collect information regarding the use of other websites, apps and online resources. You can learn about Google’s practices by going to https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/partners, and opt out of them by downloading the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

If you do not want information collected through the use of cookies, there is a simple procedure in most browsers that allows you to automatically decline cookies or be given the choice of declining or accepting the transfer to your computer of a particular cookie (or cookies) from a particular site. You may also wish to refer to http://www.allaboutcookies.org/manage-cookies/index.html. If, however, you do not accept cookies, you may experience some inconvenience in your use of the Services.

HOW WE USE YOUR INFORMATION

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. What this means for you: When you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver license or other identifying documents.

We may also use the information we collect:

To operate, maintain, enhance and provide features of the Services, to provide services and information that you request, to respond to comments and questions, and otherwise to provide support to users.

To understand and analyze the usage trends and preferences of our users, to improve the Services, and to develop new products, services, features, and functionality.

To do so, these companies may set and access their own cookies, pixel tags, and similar technologies on our Services and they may otherwise collect or have access to information about you which they may collect over time and across different online services.

Notice: When opening a Prime Trust trust, and prior to your placing any assets in it, we ask you to sign the trust agreement and acknowledge and agree to the trust investment policy and risk disclosures. Prime Trust does not provide legal or tax advice, nor do we recommend that any particular person open a trust. Uninvested cash in your trust is FDIC insured. Invested cash (”investments”) in your trust is not FDIC insured, and as such your trust may gain or lose value from the investments it makes. We encourage you to speak with your legal and tax advisers prior to opening a Prime Trust trust. Click here for more information on Prime Trust's services.
